Fig. 7. : splenic cells expressing CD4+FoxP3+. Swiss Webster mice born from infected mothers (BIM), suckled by infected mothers (SIM), and born and suckled by schistosomotic mothers (BSIM) were immunised with ovalbumin (OA) (100 μg/animal) in complete Freund’s adjuvant 60 days after postnatal infection (80 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae). Postnatal infected or uninfected mice born and suckled by uninfected mothers (control) were also immunised with OA. Nine days after immunisation, their spleen cells were unstimulated or stimulated with OA (500 μg/mL) or concanavalin-A (Con-A) (5 μg/mL) for 72 h, labelled and analysed by flow cytometry. The results represent the mean of the frequency of spleen cells double-labelled ± standard deviation for 10 animals/group. The results are showing one representative of three independent experiments. •: p < 0.05 compared with the control group; #: p < 0.05 compared with the uninfected control group.
